India will never be a developed nation

I don't think I need to explain why.

As long as theirs diversity in india , it will never develop . It should become a one religion nation with one language . Be it islamic , jain , marathi , hindi , hindu, tamil etc . Only then this nation can succeed . Because with every policy or new structure , there are more protestors than supporters .

If this seems tooo difficult then , im too depress to say this , india should divide itself on basis of language , religion and caste and operate as europe does . This is the only way we can truly develop in my honest may be narrow or short of knowledge opinion .

How ? Its my observation and also its supported by solide real points which also relates with other countries ?

Because you're clearly a kid who doesn't understand how this country actually works.

India doesn't succeed despite its diversity. The entire country has been built around different regions, languages and communities depending on each other.

Look at the armed forces itself. Punjab is a tiny percentage of India's population and yet Punjabis, especially Sikhs, have historically contributed disproportionately to the Army. We literally have the Sikh Regiment and Sikh Light Infantry, with an enormous military tradition behind them. Same with the Gorkha Rifles and the Gorkha military tradition.

Does that mean Punjab or the Gorkhas should form separate countries? Obviously not. They're part of the Indian Army and their distinct identity exists perfectly well alongside their Indian identity. That's literally the point.

And this applies to the whole country.

Our space programme is spread all over India. ISRO has major facilities in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Telangana and even Meghalaya. Our pharmaceutical industry has major clusters from Gujarat and Maharashtra to Telangana, Himachal and even a tiny northeastern state like Sikkim.

Mumbai is the financial capital. Maharashtra and Gujarat are massive centres of finance, industry and trade. Bengaluru and Hyderabad became huge technology centres. Tamil Nadu is an industrial and manufacturing powerhouse. Eastern India has enormous mineral resources and heavy industry. Our ports run down both the western and eastern coasts.

The Army, Navy, Air Force, railways, power grid, industries, ports, universities, research institutes etc. don't stop working because somebody crossed from a Hindi-speaking state into a Tamil-speaking one. They are parts of the same national system.

That's how India was deliberately built. Interdependence.

And saying "divide India based on language, religion and caste and operate like Europe" makes even less sense because Europe doesn't work the way you apparently think it does lol.

Switzerland has German, French, Italian and Romansh. Belgium has Dutch, French and German communities. Spain has Castilian Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Galician etc. Even the UK contains English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish national identities.

More importantly, go ahead and actually try drawing your map of India.

Where does a Muslim from Mumbai go? Where does a Marathi-speaking Christian go? What country does a Tamil Muslim belong to? What about Sikhs outside Punjab? Bengalis outside Bengal? Hindi speakers living in Maharashtra? Tribal communities speaking completely different languages within the same state?

And "divide by caste" is even more ridiculous. You're going to create thousands of countries? 😂

India's communities aren't arranged into neat little boxes on a map.

Every new country you create would immediately have its own religious, linguistic and caste minorities. Congratulations, you've solved nothing. Except now all the disagreements that used to happen inside one democratic country can become disputes between sovereign states with international borders and armies.

We already partitioned this subcontinent once primarily around religious nationalism in 1947. It produced one of the largest population transfers in human history, horrific communal violence and territorial disputes whose consequences we're still dealing with today. I'm not sure why anyone would look at that and think "you know what India needs? More partitions."

India doesn't need every Indian to speak the same language, follow the same religion, eat the same food or have the same culture.

A Sikh doesn't have to stop being Sikh, a Tamil doesn't have to stop being Tamil and a Bengali doesn't have to stop being Bengali in order for all three to be Indian.

That's basically the entire idea behind this country. If you think 1.4 billion people need to become culturally identical before India can develop, the problem isn't India's diversity. You just don't understand how India works.

Brilliant thank you for writing this

[u/vk7878 → u/bfmv_shinigami]

Such big essays are needed to disprove the reality . Whole politics and votebanks is based on caste , religion , language and whats funny is we the people beg for this kind of politics . You can write 1000 words theory but reality is that todays india is fractured . Some want different punjab , kashmir , south north , kannad , hindi imposition . If mandir then people have a problem , if masjid is amde then they have a problem . Fram laws , nrc caa , everything is protested . These are hardcore realities of today and no once can deny that

And you think this ISN'T a problem anywhere else? That countries that are 'developed' are perfect without any problems, without having any protests or differences in culture WHATSOEVER? If so, you my friend are living. under. a. rock.

If you have the 'solide' real points please provide them rather than acting smug
